Parks

Maybe you would like to plan a picnic
or perhaps let the kids run wild and free in the playground.
Check out one of these parks in the Kentucky Lakes Area. Make
sure you check out our
Amusement & Water Parks section as well.

No camping excursion is complete with a serenade from the resident bullfrog. There are a vast variety of amphibians to be found throughout the Land Between The Lakes Area.
